Piano in Contemporary Worship, Part 3 (Bob Kauflin)

“We finally finished editing the third session. This one took a little more time to edit because people were regularly walking past the window of the door in the video, which is a bit distracting. My good friend Dave Mackenzie performed his video wizardry and edited the movement out.

In this session I deal with many of the specific questions I’ve been asked over the years. Those include:

chord coloring

inversions

playing hymns

developing your chord vocabulary

introductions

transitions

playing behind someone speaking

modulations.

Along the way I also talk about some of the musical influences that have shaped the way I play.

You can download the outline for all three sessions here. Because Part 3 is close to 90 minutes long, and you may not have time to watch this in one sitting, I’ve provided time markers below for the different sections.
